Qigang Chen - Itinéraire d'une illusion (2018)

Описание: 00:00 Calm and expressive - a trumpet solo opens onto gorgeous impressionist harmonies. More sinister harmonies slowly sneak in
03:12 The tension builds with rapid string tremolos, and a menacing bass line. (5:17) A staircase of sound rises out of the depths of the orchestra into a huge biting cluster
05:49 Sweet string harmonies return but with uneasy portamentos, interspersed with cadenza-like keyboard and mallet percussion runs
07:19 With a bit more sway - A 7 measure theme is passed around the orchestra in "klangfarbenmelodie". Gradually, more instruments and counterthemes are layered on top as the music turns frantic and chaotic
12:03 Lightly - the chaos cuts away, as Chen's characteristic elegant string runs feature
15:24 A grand theme in the strings rises over off-kilter ostinatos in an exuberant climax
17:46 A nostalgic piano solo, recalling the sweet and gentle harmonies of the beginning of the piece
18:35 Sensual and subtle
